I attached the new RC3. In this update I added another combination method called Chroma-Retention as described below
Code:
:param CombMethod: Method used to combine coloring models with (+):
Allowed values are:
'Simple' (default)
'Constrained-Chroma'
'Luma-Masked'
'Adaptive-Luma'
'Chroma-Retention' <--- NEW METHOD
I hope that you have time to add the new combination method.
Thanks,
Dan
Hello Selur,
could you add the following method to the parameter
CombMethod
Code:
:param CombMethod: Method used to combine coloring models with (+):
Allowed values are:
'Simple' (default)
'Constrained-Chroma'
'Luma-Masked'
'Adaptive-Luma'
'Chroma-Retention'
'ChromaBound Adaptive' <--- NEW METHOD
Thanks,
Dan
Will look at it this evening, since I'm afk most of the day.
Cu Selur
Got home earlier than planned.

Uploaded a new test version with "ChromaBound Adaptive" as additional CombMethod.
Cu Selur
The new test version is working.
Thanks, for the update.

I asked to Qwen3 to review my code for HAVC, this is the final outcome
Considering that this is the comment of an AI, trained with tens of millions of lines of code taken from github, it's quite encouraging!

Hi Dan64 and Selur,
I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely congratulate you both for all the amazing work you’ve done on HAVC. The evolution of the project has been truly outstanding — every new version feels more refined, more stable, and more capable.
With all the ddcolor parameters and optimizations you’ve implemented, we’re already seeing phenomenal results. The quality, precision, and control are simply remarkable.
The new color stabilization features, especially the Retinex adjustments and related enhancements, are incredibly powerful. They add depth and flexibility that make HAVC stand out among restoration tools.
And of course, we can’t help but be excited for the future — especially if diffusion-based colorization models or prompt-driven systems are ever added. That would be nothing short of revolutionary for colorization and restoration workflows.
Huge congratulations again for your dedication and brilliance — you’re truly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible!
Warm regards,
